Camping & Outdoors MASH Ideas
This one's built for the actual campfire — trade the phone for a notebook and run a MASH board while you wait for the marshmallows to toast. It works for road trips too, especially if the destination is a national park or a lake.
The tone here is more "unplugged and content" than chaotic — the options lean toward a simpler life outdoors rather than pure absurdity, though there's still plenty of room for a friendly bear.
Pick one option from each list below for Spouse, Car, Job, Kids, and Income — or use them as a jumping-off point and write your own. The Where You'll Live category stays fixed to Mansion, Apartment, Shack, and House no matter what theme you play, so it isn't included here. Once your board is filled in, head back to the game to run the magic number and see what survives.
